For physical balance:
* "Équilibre" (pronounced eh-kee-lee-bruh) is the most literal translation and is commonly used.
* "Stabilité" (pronounced sta-bee-lee-tay) can also be used, particularly when referring to a state of being balanced.
For financial balance:
* "Équilibre" (pronounced eh-kee-lee-bruh) is still used, but you might also hear "Solde" (pronounced sold) or "Bénéfice" (pronounced bay-nay-fees) depending on the specific context.
For balance in a more abstract sense:
* "Équilibre" (pronounced eh-kee-lee-bruh) is still the most common option.
For example:
* "I need to find my balance." - "J'ai besoin de trouver mon équilibre."
* "The company is in a state of financial balance." - "La compagnie est en état de solde."
* "She has a good balance of strength and grace." - "Elle a un bon équilibre de force et de grâce."
